Title: Farage may be a good frontman - but what about the rest of the band?
Post by: Pete on April 27, 2014, 02:00:56 PM

An Enfield council candidate, William Henwood, suggested the comedian Lenny Henry leave Britain to live in a “black country”

He was responding Twitter to comments from Henry that there were not enough ethnic minority faces on the BBC.

The Ukip candidate tweeted in response: “He should emigrate to a black country. He does not have to live with whites.”

I fear there will be more stories like this as the truth emerges about the real UKIP, not just frontman Nigel Farage.

Henry, of course, was born in the Black Country. Dudley, to be precise.

Poor bugger. Rich and famous with a great career - and now he must go and live in Dudley...  :))
